Christmas Trees: God Dwells With Us
Saturday, December 5, 2026
10:00 am – 11:30 pm
Ministry Hall
Celebrate the joy and wonder of Advent with a special morning of faith, family, and fellowship! Saint Jude the Apostle invites families with preschool and primary school-aged children to Christmas Trees: God Dwells with Us, a family-friendly Advent mini-retreat designed to help prepare our hearts and homes for the coming of Christ.
Through storytelling, a hands-on Christmas ornament craft, spiritual reflection, and time for sharing, families will explore the true meaning of Christmas and reflect on how God’s love and presence dwell among us. This relaxed and meaningful morning offers an opportunity for parents and children to spend time together, grow in faith, and celebrate the beauty of the Advent season.
Light refreshments will be provided.
A Special Family Ornament
As part of the retreat, families will create personalized Christmas ornaments to take home as a reminder of God’s presence in their lives.
Please bring family photo(s) to use in your ornaments. We recommend bringing one photo for each child attending so that every child can create a special ornament.
